Best Luggage sets A luggage set should have at least 2 pieces of different sized luggage carriers. Although there are no specific and standard set features between luggage brands, we did note some general specifications of our chosen luggage brands.

Generally speaking larger luggage carriers are used to check in at the airport; medium sized carriers can be used as a carry-on case and the smaller carriers are generally used for personal items that you need close to hand. The better luggage brand sets come with 8 pieces of luggage with a variety of different sized carriers.

Carry-on luggage – It is usually in the form of wheeled carriers, messenger bags or even backpacks. Wheeled carriers should ideally have wheels that spin in all directions for ease of use and should also incorporate an adjustable carry handle. Messenger bags and backpacks are used for the convenience of carrying personal items with you at all times.

When choosing a luggage brand you need to ask yourself the following questions.

Do you need a luggage set or single carrier?

If you are a seasoned traveler, then it is ideal to buy a luggage set, as this will give you a greater variety of different sized carriers for packing your clothes, personal belongings and using as a carry-on.

However, if you rarely travel or are only traveling a short distance and for a short time, then one medium sized carrier will probably suffice.

Should you choose a hard or soft case?

Hard cases are obviously strong and durable and protect your belongings rather well. However, they are always at risk of being scratched and can be somewhat bulky at times. On the other hand, they are very easy to clean.

Soft cases usually offer a greater flexibility when packing and ‘give’ more. This is especially useful on a return trip from holiday, as you can pack more into the case. They also usually are a bit more forgiving with wear and tear.
